A team of Indian vets was forced to run for it recently when a wounded wild elephant they were monitoring charged them without warning.

The injured animal was reported to the forest department by local residents in Gudalu in southern India in mid-April.

A team of officials and vets located the animal and began to treat it by feeding it fruit laced with medicine.

On a routine visit on April 26th, the team was filming the elephant when it charged suddenly.

The vets were forced to sprint away to avoid being trampled by the trumpeting creature.

Fortunately, the animal abandoned its chase and wandered back into the jungle.

According to officials, the elephant has now made a full recovery.

This is the moment a wild elephant charges at a team of vets trying to monitor it. The men fled on time and escaped with their lives.

Villagers near Gudalur in Southern India spotted a wounded wild elephant in the middle of April.

A team of forest officials and vets gave it medicine through fruits and started monitoring its progress.

The elephant probably grew wary of the officials visiting it frequently.

On April 26, during a routine check, a team of vets were ready with their mobiles to film the elephant and record its progress. Annoyed by the human presence, the elephant suddenly charged at them blowing a trumpet in warning.

But it luckily decided against pursuing them and returned to the forest.

Officials said the elephant has made a full recovery now.
